A Powerful Master (Part 1)
"You are right. Huryole has plenty of books, but its vault is limited and before I made my escape there wasn't much left. The Headmaster granted Orichalcum and crystals only to the best students and our magic is outdated since we never shared our discoveries among ourselves. We treated each other as food." Jakra said.
"That's why I decided to not rebuild Hervor." Thrud said. "Jiera is a dead continent and to take care of my subjects, I wouldn't have the time I need to prepare for the final battle.
"We'll use my city to train ourselves and stockpile the resources we need. During my time as the local Lord, I discovered plenty of hidden mines of Adamant and mana crystal. They will give us everything we need."
"You did?" Jakra was flabbergasted.
"Okay, fine. I actually just bought the information about their location from the black-market smugglers and the clerks of the various countries." She admitted with a chuckle.
